Energy Drink Review of: Full Throttle Nature Is One Bad Mother. Really, Coca-Cola? Did anyone try this one before it made it out the door and into production?

Modest caffeine content in this drink.

If we gave negative numbers on our ratings scale, this would rank way below zero. It tastes like a bitter root mixture of chocolate licorice and fake blueberries. Must be the ACAI ingredient? Absolutely disgusting.

Steven Seagal’s Lightning Bolt Energy Drink Review – I’m lumping together these two drinks together, just to see what Steven Seagal is going to do about it.

If these drinks actually packed any power, I didn’t notice. Sorry – but I didn’t, so it must have been minimal at best. I don’t think it’s relevant, because if you read on, you have no reason to purchase this drink.

Hype Energy Drink Review: How’d they score the hype.com domain is a good question. How’d they score on our EDB rating? is a better question. Short answer: this is good stuff.

Hype’s small can doesn’t pack in the power; if you’re looking for a stay-up-all-night-playing-Halo kick, this wouldn’t do. Hype works well as a daily boost – easy to drink, no crash after the energy wears off.

This drink easily won fans on the BoostAdvisor team – 4 out of 5 people really enjoyed the flavor. Its berry flavor is a refreshing change from the more common citrus taste.

Some of their marketing is lame, but they’re obviously working on it. The cans originally said “Live Life. Love Life. Love Hype.” We all agreed that this was as weak as it gets.

They removed this, but we think the smaller print could go too – “You’re ready and feeling good! All you need is an extra boost. You need a Hype!”

We thought “Believe the Hype” would be a better slogan. (ed. note – a few months after originally posting this review on the old site, Hype changed their slogan to “Believe the Hype”. We applaud them for paying attention to their fans!)

If the berry flavor doesn’t appeal to you, move on, but at least give it a try. It’s “lightly carbonated” – which really makes it easy to consume on the run. So – delicious, refreshing, and a good kick for a small can. That’s right. Believe the Hype.

Just do it. The power surge from X344 carries you for 12 hours. We’ve yet to try another energy drink that can compare.

The “X344” refers to the 344 mg of caffeine that this drink packs. A helpful guide right on the can contrasts the power ingredients to those in Red Bull, Monster, and Rockstar, so you can be sure you’re getting the biggest bang for your buck. They also give a warning – “Do not consume more than two servings per sitting” – and there are two servings per can.

The flavor takes some getting used to, but it’s worth it. The more you drink it, the easier it goes down.

We would rate the taste at only 1.5 of 5 stars – but really, are you drinking for the taste?
